Lilian Snelling (1879-1972)
Lilium ochraceum (Lily)
signed 'L.S.' (lower centre) and inscribed 'Lilium ochraceum' (lower centre)
pencil and watercolour
21.1/8 x 14 in. (535 x 360 mm.)
LITERATURE:
see A.Grove and A.D.Cotton, Supplement to Elwes' Monograph of the genis Lilium, London, 1933-1940.
Cotton notes that 'Few species of Lilium exhibit such variation as is shown by the different forms of Lilium ochraceum, a species which was originally discovered by the French missionary Delavy on the Tali range. In the northern part of its geographical area - the high, dry land of north-west Yunnan - the plants are short, the leaves and flowers small, and the colouring poor, while in its south-western limit - the warm, wet mountains and valleys of Burma - the other extreme of the species is found, namely, tall and robust plants with long, often broad, leaves and large, well-coloured flowers... The extreme forms are connected by every type of intermediate, and botanists have wisely refrained from attempting to distiguish separate species.' (pp.72-3 op. cit).
